I'm just going to go ahead and say it

I don't know how the hell some of you are comparing him to Dwight Howard or Shawn Kemp. Those two guys are/were pretty strong inside while Evans is a stick.

As long as we're making him out to be a superstar, why not compare him to Chris Bosh? At least their bodies are similar.

If I had to pick a player, he reminds me of a young AK47. Remember the days when AK had the quickness and desire to change a game?

Evans isn't THAT skinny. His weight is deceptive. He's already bigger than AK was during his early days. But I still think Howard is out of reach.. he's a once-in-a-decade type of athlete in terms of size + speed + athleticism. Kemp got a lot bigger as his days went on, but he was never near the size Howard is. I'm speaking more in terms of what he could be as a relatively "run-and-dunk" sort of energy player. Bosh is more of a finesse player than anything.
 
I am in the camp against Evans putting on a bunch of weight, just let him do his thing at SF. His shot will probably come in time and will be great at playing the passing lanes with the occasional block thrown in.

Here's another comparison. Jeremy Evans is like a younger Jamario Moon.

Moon has 3 point range, doesn't he? I don't think Evans has taken a shot outside the paint yet.

I'd also compare Evans to Thaddeus Young

The comparison to Hakim Warrick wasn't bad either.

But some of you comparing him to Shawn Kemp or Dwight Howard must be looking at a completely different player. Maybe you guys got confused between Evans and Al Jefferson? They're both black...

Yeah, but Moon didn't start playing in the NBA until he was 27. Besides the jump shot, everything else between the two is pretty similar or no? I don't think Evans will ever have a great shot, but I do think he will be able to knock down 15 footers at some point in his career. At least I would like to think.
